Libertarians make up about 5 - 10% of the population. Since they're a small minority within a much larger population of statists, the statists feel free to bully, cage, and kill libertarians who don't obey.
As I see it, there are a number of strategies that small minority might take to get a much larger authoritarian group to leave them alone:
* moral suasion / propaganda
* nonviolent resistance
* exit / migration
* violent revolution / guerrilla warfare
* assassination
* secession
* civil disobedience
* black markets
* politics / voting
* lobbying
* lawsuits
* technological development (cryptocurrency, Signal, seasteading)
Are there any good books/essays on that compare/contrast the effectiveness of these techniques? When is violent resistance justified? When is it most effective? For example, given the benefit of hindsight, what should the Jews have done differently (if anything) during the Nazi rise to power to preserve their lives?
Something along the lines of Jason Brennan's book "When All Else Fails", Bryan Caplan's book "The Myth of the Rational Voter", or Michael Huemer's "The Problem of Political Authority".
